I subscribed to the acenic list and I was told there that the 620 should support jumbo frames just fine, and that the response I got from Netgear Support about them not supporting larger packets was just their own drivers. The hardware supports it just fine (all according to the reponse I got on the acenic list). I have so far been unsuccessful in getting the card to work at all, I get "Firmware not running". I hope to get this resolved shortly. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
